3000-Lumen WXGA Short Throw LED Projector with 0.49 Throw Ratio, 30,000-Hour Lamp-Free Light Source, 120Hz/16ms Low Latency, and LAN Control for Classrooms and Conference Rooms
The ViewSonic LS560WH is a WXGA (1280x800) short throw LED projector that produces a 100-inch image from just 3.6 feet, making it ideal for small rooms where a standard projector cannot be positioned far enough from the screen. The 0.49 short throw ratio eliminates presenter shadow and glare by placing the projector close to the wall or screen surface. The lamp-free LED light source delivers 3000 ANSI lumens for 30,000 hours without brightness degradation or lamp replacement costs. LAN control via RJ45 enables remote management through Crestron, AMX, Extron, PJ Link, and ViewSonic vController for IT teams managing multiple projectors across a building or campus.
The LS560WH sits in ViewSonic's short throw projector lineup as the LED-powered WXGA option for education and business environments where room depth is limited. The 16:10 native aspect ratio matches WXGA laptops and Chromebooks without cropping. 16ms input latency with 120Hz refresh rate provides responsive interaction for digital whiteboard and annotation applications. H/V keystone, 4-corner adjustment, and auto keystone correct image geometry regardless of mounting position. 360-degree projection orientation supports ceiling, wall, table, and angled installations without overheating. At 6.28 lbs with HDMI and USB connectivity, the LS560WH installs permanently or moves between rooms as needed.
Where the LS560WH Fits
- Classrooms with limited ceiling depth where the 0.49 short throw ratio projects a 100-inch image from 3.6 feet, eliminating the need for a long throw distance that standard projectors require and preventing presenter shadow on the screen
- Huddle rooms and small conference spaces where wall space is close to the presentation surface and 3000 lumens provides clear visibility under normal office lighting without requiring blackout conditions
- Multi-room campus deployments where LAN control through Crestron, AMX, Extron, and PJ Link allows IT administrators to remotely power on/off, adjust settings, and monitor status across all installed units from a central dashboard
What the LS560WH Delivers
- 0.49 short throw ratio: Projects a 100-inch image from just 3.6 feet. Eliminates presenter shadow, reduces ambient light washout on the screen surface, and enables large-screen projection in rooms that cannot accommodate standard throw distances.
- 30,000-hour LED light source: Lamp-free LED technology provides consistent 3000-lumen brightness for 30,000 hours of operation. No lamp replacements, no mercury disposal, and no gradual dimming over time.
- 16ms latency with 120Hz refresh: Low-latency input response makes the LS560WH compatible with interactive whiteboard systems and annotation tools. 120Hz refresh rate delivers smooth motion for video content and presenter movement.
- LAN control with AV system support: RJ45 Ethernet enables remote power scheduling, status monitoring, and settings management. Compatible with Crestron, AMX, Extron, PJ Link, ATEN, and ViewSonic vController for enterprise-grade room automation.
- Flexible installation at 6.28 lbs: H/V keystone, 4-corner adjustment, auto keystone, and 360-degree orientation handle any mounting scenario. Compatible with ViewSonic PJ-WMK-305 and PJ-WMK-007 ceiling mounts for permanent installation.
Which Projector Is Better Short Throw or Long Throw
Short throw projectors like the LS560WH are better for rooms with limited depth between the projector and screen, typically classrooms, huddle rooms, and small conference spaces under 15 feet deep. They eliminate presenter shadow because the projector mounts close to the screen surface. Long throw projectors work better in large auditoriums and lecture halls where the projector can be positioned 20+ feet from the screen. For rooms under 15 feet deep that need a 80-100 inch image, short throw is the only practical option.
